<<Jesus was not born in December.>>

Hence the reason I said this.

<<Christmas is the time that Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus>>

Now as far as the rest of your post goes you simply don't get it. Never is US history have we celebrated the Winter Solstice.

<<Why should atheists not be able to celebrate and get paid for the time off like everyone else?>>

Because they don't believe in a religion which is the very foundation of the time off. If American business operated the way you're suggesting we'd all get EVER religious holiday off regardless of belief and a few New Years as well. That just doesn't work.
